Mario Balotelli has been given a two-match Ligue 1 ban for simulation that led to a red card in Nice’s 4-1 win over Caen.
The Italy international is expected to leave Nice this summer for €10m and Olympique Marseille are showing strong interest.
His final game for Nice was a 4-1 victory on May 12 and it was a controversial one.
Balo was accused of simulating to get Ismael Diomande sent off, falling without apparent contact when he would’ve been clear on goal.

It seems the disciplinary commission agreed and have given Balotelli a two-match ban.
If he does join Marseille, it means he’ll miss the first two rounds of the Ligue 1 season.
